This smoked tofu vegan BLT is on regular rotation at my house! It is one of my favorite ways to use my smoked tofu recipe; I think we have it every time I pull out the smoker!
This dish is hardly a recipe because a quality smoked tofu is all you need to make vegan bacon. Just thin slice it and pan fry in some oil. Your house will smell heavenly! Continue reading

Friends, it has been a very busy summer for me, and I hope you all have a summer full of great recipes so far. This recipe, Greek chickpea salad, is one that I have been eating a lot this summer.
This salad is very easy to make. It requires a little bit of time to chop all the vegetables, but it is totally worth it. The flavor of all the vegetables go together perfectly, and the dressing is the icing on the cake! Continue reading

A few months ago, I posted this recipe for butternut squash chickpea curry. One week when I was cleaning out the fridge, I used the recipe but made alterations based on what I had. My family loved this sweet potato coconut curry even more than we loved the butternut squash version, so I just had to share it with you all!
So, what alterations did I make? Two major swaps and one omission is all that you will find. I swaped sweet potato for the butternut, and tofu for the chickpeas. Continue reading

This Brazilian coconut shrimp stew is traditionally called moqueca. It can be made with fish or various types of seafood. I decided to try this dish because I loved the look of the creamy coconut with the rich seafood.
In my version I only used shirmp and not multiple types of seafood. This simplified the dish to be something that I could make with mostly pantry staples and frozen shirmp. Continue reading

I hope you guys are ready for a break from holiday recipes and ready to dive into some pizza! If you are enjoying time with family this year, pizza is sure to be a hit, and I recommend this whole wheat deep dish pizza dough recipe.
I prefer to have a whole wheat crust on pizza. Let me explain why. When you are trying to make a recipe healthier, it is hard to remove tasty ingredients and end up with something you love just as much. Continue reading

Curry is a great dish to make in advance for busy nights because the flavors only get better as it sits. This butternut squash chickpea curry is loaded with vegetables as well as flavor!
I like to prep all the ingredients for this recipe in advance to make it an easy and pleasant cooking experience. Chopping the butternut squash can be time consuming, and sometimes difficult, so you don’t want to rush for safety’s sake. Continue reading

If you are like me, you still have some summer garden produce lingering that needs to be used. Even though it is October, I still have garden cucumbers and tomatoes that are delicious in this tzatziki pasta salad with chickpeas.
Has anyone else had a busy fall? I feel like I am so far behind on all my projects, including blog posts. I had extra time at the end of summer to photograph some delicious recipes, and now they are finally making it onto the blog when the produce is almost out of season. Better late than never I suppose. Continue reading

This recipe is a little late coming to the blog, but better late than never. Late this summer I was craving some barbecue and decided to experiment with my own sauce. I made peach bourbon barbecue sauce with this years bumper peach crop!
Barbecue sauce comes in soooo many varieties, there is no one way to make it. This barbecue sauce recipe is a little sweet, but still balanced with savory flavors like onion, garlic, and tomato. Continue reading

These zucchini feta rye berry cakes with roasted cherry tomatoes is by far my favorite way to make a zucchini “fritter”. It’s really more of a cake or patty because the rye berries add so much dense chewy texture.
The cakes are delicious on their own, but the cherry tomatoes and yogurt make this something special. The sweetness and slight acidity of the tomatoes balances the earthy, tangy notes of the rye berries while the yogurt adds a creamy luscious texture. Continue reading

Do you guys ever have those moments when you see a picture of a recipe and you just have to make it!? Well it happenend to me when I saw two of my favorite ingredients together: black beans and pasta! I made my own healthy tweeks to this black bean taco pasta salad recipe.
First of all, I don’t mess around with taco seasoning packets. I stock so many spices, there is no need! Also, those packets have added ingredients that you don’t need. Just keep a well stocked spice rack and you are set! Continue reading
